Summary
The City Council adopted Ordinance No. 57‑34 on May 27, 2025, amending the 2024–25 budget to recognize $2,171,100 in additional expenditures and corresponding revenues and transfers, including permit revenue for Martin Manor and a $1,000,000 mausoleum roof replacement transfer.
The Boca Raton City Council voted 5–0 on May 27 to adopt Ordinance No. 57‑34, the second budget amendment for fiscal year 2024–25, which recognizes additional revenues and increases appropriations totaling $2,171,100.
Cheryl McGuire, OMB director, told the council the amendment recognizes several revenue and transfer items tied to capital projects and permit activity. Key adjustments in the amendment include:
- General Fund: recognize $375,000 in lease revenue and increase expenditures by $375,000 for the downtown campus redevelopment project. - Permit-related revenue and assistance: recognize $476,400 in revenue from building permits associated with the Martin Manor project and increase $476,400 in expenditures for permit fee assistance. - Information Technology Fund: recognize $319,700 in transfers from the General Fund to increase capital outlay spending related to downtown campus redevelopment. - Cemetery Mausoleum Fund: recognize a $1,000,000 transfer from the Mausoleum Perpetual Care Fund and increase expenditures $1,000,000 for roof replacement; the Perpetual Care Fund recognizes a corresponding $1,000,000 transfer out.
McGuire said the total increase in expenditures under the ordinance is $2,171,100. With no public comment the council moved, seconded and adopted the ordinance. The recorded vote was Singer — yes; Drucker — yes; Thompson — yes; Nacklis — yes; Wigter — yes.
Why it matters: The ordinance authorizes specific transfers and appropriations for capital costs tied to the downtown campus redevelopment and a mausoleum roof replacement, and it recognizes permit-related revenue from the Martin Manor project.
Implementation: Staff will implement the approved transfers and capital expenditures through the city's accounting and project-management processes; no additional policy changes were made at the meeting.
